strong. Il il known beyond doubt
that the wa.er.pipes had been tampered
With, and the circumstances point TO .

testify that they saw Simmons walk
away from the direction of the fire few
minutes before the flames were disc0v-
cred; also that when it was found that
the books were uninjured by the fire.
an investigation was made and it was
discovered that Simmons was four thou.

other statement is that at the time OF
the fire, when every one was doing all
they could TO save lives and property,

dov inward. As he struck the floor be

eyes completely closed. He fell with

ST. LoUis, April GA special dis
patch from Fcrt Worth, Tex, says; Ad.
vices from the Anardarks Indian
Agency are to the effect that there has
been great excitement there, owing to
the action OF the Kiowa Indians. War
talk began over week ago, but Guanah
Parker, Chief of the Comanches, not
only has held his own tribe in check,
but also Influenced the better element of
the Kowas. However, but few Of this
tribe would listen to him, and, with their
war talk, they began to make depreia,
tions oil cattlemen. A band Of them
roamed over the cattle country. visiting
the residences and greatly frightening
the women and children. They
made such demonstration about
the school at Anardsrks as to terrorize
the children. The military were noti.
fled of this, and Capt. Nall determined
towithhold beef ratiOns from the Kiowas
that had caused tho trouble; hut when
Friday came moro leaders came in, and
it was then determined to arrest them.
This becoming known the Kiowas be.
came alarmed, and leaving their traps,
wagona. etc., they took their women and
children and all their ponies TO a strong
hold on Rainy Mountain about forty
miles from Anardarks. Troops were at
once sent in pursuit, and went into Camp
Wichita, eight miles from the Indian po-
sition. They then advanced to the base
of the mountain on the following night.
After three days Of psrley the Indians
agreed to give up their offending mem.
bers to the soldiers located near the
Fort where they could be watched.
The troops then returned to Anardarks
with their prisoners.
